Lamar Odom discharged from hospital after 'miraculous' recovery

Lamar Odom has been released from a Los Angeles hospital after making a “miraculous” recovery, his family has announced.

Odom was placed on life support after being discovered unconscious and face down in a Nevada brothel in October.

The Kardashian family asked for prayers from their followers after his hospitalisation, sparking fears for his life. His condition gradually improved and Odom was moved from a Las Vegas hospital to one in LA a few weeks later.

In November, his estranged wife Khloe Kardashian said Odom was “doing better every day” but stressed his recovery would be a long and arduous process.

Alvina Alston, a publicist for Odom’s aunt JaNean Mercer, released a statement confirming the former Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers has been released to a private facility, where he will continue to receive treatment.

“It is with extreme gratitude and appreciation to all of you around the world who have prayed without ceasing for Lamar, that we announce his transition to the next stage of his miraculous recovery at a new facility," she said. 

”Lamar continues to make remarkable strides.“
